I accepted a position and after - mt

Posted: Jun 17, 2011

reading all the fine print, I don't want to work for the company....how should I go about telling them? I don't want to burn a bridge in case I become desperate for a job later on!!

Just be nice and tell them the position is not right - 4U at this time. PS...

what in the fine print makes it so bad, or worse than anyplace else?

good idea - been there

Yes, sometimes they will tell you that they will hold your application/test for 6 months in case you want to reconsider. It may depend on whether they have the right openings for you, but do ask and then you will have a backup plan and not burn the bridge, as you said. I know some companies have this paper you have to sign worded in kind of a confusing legal mumbo-jumbo, but basically saying you will not steal their software, open your own company, and that anything you write, produce, etc. will belong to them. WHAT? I just write above my signature that if I write a fiction type novel that it will belong to me because I wouldn't be stealing anything anyway and if I write that book, they can't take it. I have been intimidated by these papers until I decided to do that. Just add a notation where you sign and see what happens. It worked for me several times over the many years. P.S. I currently work for that company that said they would hold my application/test for 6 months, but it is a couple years later. I did apply and test again, but they had a computer record of my previous test/job offer. I had also been offered 3 jobs, trying to find the best at the time. I chose a bad one, but now I am in a better place (for now at least?). Good luck.

After going back and forth for two years, I finally decided to apply for college and I was accepted, yay me!! Actually, I already have my Associate's degree, so this isn't my first time in college, but I feel like I've taken a huge step in my life and I was so excited I just wanted to share with my fellow MTs! Just an FYI, after researching an endless amount of colleges, I chose WGU majoring in Health Informatics and am even considering my MBA there as well because the ...

I applied for a job with a company and was hired. The start pay is just okay, but increases as your line count increases and I think this is a good way for me to get my foot in the door and experience with working with other types of transcription and jobs. It is straight typing and involves insurance and legal matters and forms. If anyone wants to know more about it, I will be happy to let you know. I start in April. ...

I know from previous posts on here that that job isn't the big thing MQ was making it out to be (horrible editing pay, etc). BUT...do you guys at least have work to do, whether it is typing or editing? I am just an MT and I run out of work daily. If I had become an MME as well, would I have at least been making a little money, or are you guys running out of work too, no matter what? Thanks. ...

I just wrote a very long post, but decided to minimalize it because I feel very on edge with my company and I'm doing the absolute best I can. If you know the hospital that hired your company is not happy with the work that is being produced, and you are able to see glaring errors in other people's work, would you say something to management or keep it to yourself? This is MY job too, and if the errors continue I am afraid the hospital will go elsewhere, meaning my job is gone as wel ...

Are there any MMEs out there who regret having become an MME? And if you become an MME, are you able to go back to just MT status if you decide you do not like it? I am trying to understand how this is considered a pay boost and if it is worth testing for. Did you see a significant increase in pay, a slight increase, no increase at all, or did you actually lose money? Thanks. ...

The following nasty gram was sent to all independent contractors from the company owner. I'm just curious to know . . . how many ICs treated like this? Hi everyone - I wanted to touch base with all of you immediately, as we have a very serious problem. Aside from a very few MTs who have notified us in advance that they would be out, we have many MTs who are not working their agreed upon shift and it has put us in a serious hole. If there is work in your pool for the physi ...

Considering a position with KeyStrokes. However, I'm wondering how QA is with grammar the stuff. I'm getting QA'd to death where I'm at now. I'll change things according to how QA says it should be, but the next time it's still not right.......one time it's use a semi-colon, next time it's put in a comma, next time it's start a whole new sentence, etc., etc. I'm pulling my hair out! I'm getting so tired of changing things only t ...

I need some advice about a position that I am being offered. It is an IC position. They want Tu-Sat or Sun-Thurs and 1500 lines per day. This is supposedly 70% VR and the rest is straight typing. I know that techniqually they aren't supposed to require weekend work and line requirements for IC, but how is the best way to negotiate this and still get the job? I hate the job that I am currently doing and don't make enough money at it. I usually do work ...
